5,500 BTU exchanger to try and get a jump on pool heating season.

I am stoked!
Check out this heat exchanger! I purchased it to take the thermal energy out of my Oil fired hydronic boiler heat system, and transfer that heat energy to the pool. 5500 BTU exchange as the numbers look on paper. Let’s get this piped out, and take this baby for a ride!

Was it not big enough ?

[@raykd2ibp198]

Not really. 6k gallons in NY isnt easy to keep temp.

How does it work???

[@raykd2ibp198]

The system or the exchanger?

[@shadowfountain]

Can you just throw it in the pool and then it will heat up?

[@raykd2ibp198]

It's🙃 not a toaster....

@@shadowfountain Give it a shot. You might be on to something.

How many litres does this heat?

[@raykd2ibp198]

Allot of math in that question. Temp in, temp out, flow rate of the exchanger hot side. Temp in, temp out, flow rate, on the fluid flow side to be heated. The heat dissipation rate of the fluid you wish to heat. That is not a question can be answered without a lot of information, and a lot of calculating. 5,500 BTU exchange capacity is the start point. I hope that helps a little.

Does it work?

[@raykd2ibp198]

Ehh. I will chalk this one off as a fail....Everything looks good on paper.
